I was lucky and got the colourway I wanted on a bst. I never seemed to be able to get it direct. Always sold out. Guess I wasn't quick enough lol.
I don't mind waking up early for the drop, but I wish the newsletter announced the drops earlier so I at least know to wake up early for it.The time of drops is different. Last was at 3pm CEST and working day, I think before it was more times on Sunday at 9pm CEST. Maybe some next drop will be fine also for your time zone..
I have this one too. Looks great!I was lucky and got the colourway I wanted on a bst. I never seemed to be able to get it direct. Always sold out. Guess I wasn't quick enough lol.

4 out of 5 of the last newsletter announcements were same day as the drops..You can always subscribe to his newsletter and have that information one day before..
You may see it earlier on Instagram. I think new hybrid knot was announced day before and there was also date and hour of next drop. So much earlier as e-mail newsletter..4 out of 5 of the last newsletter announcements were same day as the drops..

I kind of agree with this. The one problem that people may run into is they're at work and can't do online shopping while at work.I don’t quite understand the drama here. He announces drops - dates and times. If you want to buy, you click on his website at the exact day and time and all available brushes will be ready to buy. Pull the trigger quickly and it’s yours. Yes, they go quickly; but you have just as much a chance as the next guy. Be quick about things. It’s as fair as it can get, IMHO.

But why is it so hard for Jannik to provide a handy link in his email drop announcement where to shop for brushes? His web site ordering instructions indicate that he sells spots on the waiting list, e.g., a chance to place an order with him for a brush of your choice. So the drama here is all about inconsistent instructions. Is he selling spots on a waiting list or a very small number of brushes that he already manufactured, which then get sold out in a matter of minutes? I did ask him via email but never heard back. I received his email notification ahead of the 3 PM CEST deadline but there was absolutely nothing I was able to do with it.I don’t quite understand the drama here.

You click on the ‘Made to Order’ link at the precise time of the drop (or shortly and quickly thereafter). It says ‘Sold Out’ until the precise time of the drop. Once the pre-made brushes or the X number of Made to Order brushes are all sold, it then says ‘Sold Out’ once again.As explained on
Ordering Process
New customers are often a little confused about how they can get their hands on my brushes. So here is a description of the ordering process. I mostly do drops with brushes that are not pre-made, but made to order. This more or less means I sell spots in a waiting list. The drops are always...waldshaving.com
“After you were able to buy a spot in the waiting list, you tell me which specifications you want your brush to have. That includes the handle shape and colorway, in case you ordered a synthetic brush I also need to know the knot shape. Then I will go ahead and make the brush according to your wishes.”
This is very easy to understand. But is that what’s really going on? If so, how exactly do I buy a spot in the waiting list?
It depends on the type of guy you are but I would not buy the most expensive of anything, if I had not first tried more modestly priced products. I would not recommend a Wolfman as a first razor, a Chubby 3 Manchurian as a first badger brush, or a Patek Philippe as a first wristwatch. Of course, if you fancy the Wald then go for itI have never tried a synthetic before but intrigued about the A1. Do you guys think it's worth jumping in?
Have you at least tried a boar, a badger, preferably some (different) synthetic brushes?I have never tried a synthetic before but intrigued about the A1. Do you guys think it's worth jumping in?
